Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery
Priorities and Provisions in the Review of the National Development Plan: Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation
2:00 am
Cathal Byrne (Fine Gael)
On a separate point, one of the concerns being highlighted to me regarding infrastructure development, particularly by Wexford County Council, is that for projects that require a foreshore license, planning permission must be applied for first and then a person must correspondingly apply for a foreshore license afterwards. Both applications cannot be lodged concurrently with a condition put in whereby although planning is granted, the project cannot proceed until the foreshore license is obtained and vice versa. Is that something the Minister has considered? Does that form part of his recommendations?
